But the brand-new Compact Hybrid is something different - a purpose-built, small-wheeled Bosch e-bike that's designed to slot easily into anyone's life, reducing the need to travel by car and, well... just making things simpler. Because simpler is good, right? Yeah, we thought so too. Built around a one-size-fits-all frame and compact 20in wheels, it doesn't take up much room but adapts easily to any rider thanks to easily adjustable handlebar and saddle positions - and there's the possibility to mount a lock to help prevent someone else riding off on your pride and joy. The step-through frame design makes it easy to get on and off, and Bosch's Active Plus drive unit and 500Wh battery gives a smooth, quiet and completely hassle-free boost to your pedalling.
CUBE have known for a long time that bikes are part of the solution to the urban mobility problem. But the brand-new Compact Hybrid is something different - a purpose-built, small-wheeled Bosch e-bike that's designed to slot easily into anyone's life, reducing the need to travel by car and, well... just making things simpler. Because simpler is good, right? Yeah, we thought so too. Built around a one-size-fits-all frame and compact 20in wheels, it doesn't take up much room but adapts easily to any rider thanks to easily adjustable handlebar and saddle positions - and there's the possibility to mount a lock to help prevent someone else riding off on your pride and joy. The step-through frame design makes it easy to get on and off, and Bosch's Active Plus drive unit and 500Wh battery gives a smooth, quiet and completely hassle-free boost to your pedalling. A comfortable seat and handlebar mean you'll love riding it, while low-maintenance internal hub gears ensure that hills and traffic are a breeze, and we included full-length mudguards to help keep you drier and more comfortable, even when the weather isn't cooperating. Speaking of which, powerful all-weather disc brakes mean you've no worries about stopping, even when it's wet. You can fit a rack front or rear - or even both - for carrying all your stuff, and wide 2.4in tyres offer lots of reassuring grip and comfort, even on poorly maintained city streets. Quiet, compact - as its name suggests - and so easy to live with you'll wonder how you managed without it, the Compact Hybrid is the reliable companion that everyone needs.
